Hello and welcome mates, as you are aware that most of my posts are based on cricket infact all of the posts are from cricket as I am attached to this game by heart ♥ and soul. I hardly play any other game whether it may be an outdoor game or indoor. I hardly watch movies on TV, if I have ever watched TV and the only reason behind is a live cricket match and if there is no match live, I use to watch the old ones then. Well, leaving all this aside letus talk about the final match of the t10 league played between Pakhtoon's and Northern Warriors at Sharjah.
It was a full packed stadium at Sharjah and thousands of people went back to their homes without getting a ticket 🎫 as it was already overcrowded. Under the roar of crowd toss was won by the Captain of Pakhtoon's Shahid Afridi and he did the same as most of the captains were doing in the past matches of the league. Pakhtoon's decided to field first, as most of the matches in the league were won by the teams batting second. After putting up Warriors into bat, Warriors didn't start of things very well as their first wicket Summons got out just making 5 runs from 4 balls and the man in great form Andre Fletcher was the second victim, though he scored 18 runs from 10. Mist of the players for the warriors were from Westindies who are known to be the best power hitters of cricket ball in the world cricket so there wasn't any pressure of wickets going out. After the fall of first two wickets it was the turn of big man (Andre Russell) to entertain the crowd, and he did that with loyality. Russell made a quick fire 37 from 12 balls with four sixes and 3 fours before falling victim to captain Afridi. But the most of the damage was done by none other than Kiren Powell who scored 61 of just 25 balls with four 4⃣ sixes and 8⃣ fours. If we talk of the bowling, the best bowling figures are of shahid Afridi who consumed 21 runs in his two overs and picket up the all important wicket of Andre Russell. Northern Warriors managed to score a huge total of 140 runs in their stipulated overs.
So it was a tough ask to chase for the Pakhtoons from ball one as it is not easy to score 14 runs every over now matter how strong your batting may be, Delport was the key in their batting line-up and he was cleaned up by Chris's Green just for a total of four runs, Chris Green's spell with 2 wickets in 2 overs giving away just 11 runs was the match deciding spell. He kept things tight and his two overs proved very costly to them, as the inform batsmen Fletcher was alone cleaned up by him and that broke the spine of whole team and put up the match under full control of Northern Warriors. It was Captain Booom boom (Shahid Afridi) who entertained the crowed for a moment but his innings also lost for a short period of 17 from 7 balls before he was bowled out by a pumped Viljoen. At the end it was an easy win for the Northern Warriors, winning the match by 22 runs and lifted the trophy 🏆.....
